System Requirements: Software runs on either a PC or Macintosh. PCmust be 386 or later with Windows 3.1+, 8 MB of RAM and a double speed CD-ROM drive. For a Macintosh, it must be a System 7 or later and have 4 MB of RAM along with a CD-ROM drive.

All reviews should be single spaced. However, it is fine skip an occasional line for the sake of appearance.

Paragraphs should not be indented.

Two spaces should appear after colons and periods.

The text should be 60 to 75 columns wide, and should start at the flush left margin.

All reviews must be headed with the full information concerning the software or CD-ROM.

If the material has an author, this should appear before the title of the software or CD-ROM.

Italics can be represented in ASCII like this: _Title of Software_.

Please include information about material included in the software or CD-ROM package, including number of disks or CDs and information on any user's guides or other useful printed materials that may be included.

Use the price given in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

The "N" in ISBN stands for Number, so don't say, "ISBN No."

Please note:

Do not use tabs or extra spaces. Nearly anything you do to optimize the look of the review in your own e-mail program will be lost in ASCII, and sometimes it will cause garbled text or added characters. In addition, please do not add hyphens in words to make the lines look nice on your screen. When e-mail or html rejustifies the text, extra spaces will appear, since the word will often no longer be at the end of a line.

Publisher Information

In listing the publisher and place of publication, there are three rules:

If the state is named in the name of the publisher, it's not included in the place. So Lexington: University Press of Kentucky and Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press.

We use "literary" abbreviations for states, rather than postal codes; so Conn., not CT, Del., not DE.

Generally, if a publisher has U.S. and overseas offices, we try to list one of each, since folks all over the world access the pages. So Cambridge University Press is New York and Cambridge, England, etc.

Other Citation Standards

Any standard citation form may be used. However, reviewers should use endnotes rather than footnotes, which do not translate well in e-mail or the web.
